Previously I had ad links, merged in my content. That wasn't producing any clicks. So, I decided to move them now. I have placed adsense links on the topmost part of my page, right below the toolbars. Is it 'ban-drawing'? Is there any place google says don't place links anywhere near pages or categories or something like that? Please take a look and let me know. I think it is working, because it hasn't even been an hour and I got like 3 clicks. Either it is because of it or the user was going to click others if not these links! I'm guessing you'll know my site by now....otherwise here's the link - explainstuff.com I donno but inside me I have this feeling, this might be the best place to put, and hence wondering if that is not banned position!
